rbrown4 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Greg, Love that obverse and the detail on the reverse. Nice pick up. Rey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarm Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Images of George III on coinage and medals seem to trace fairly well his progression from pudgy youth to heavy-set jowly adult. Here's an exception which makes me chuckle. It is a 49mm bronze medal produced in 1802 to commemorate peace with France and depicts George (who was in his 60's) as Britannia!

rbrown4 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Now that is a coin with some true character. All of the details are wonderful. The sun, ship, volcano, castle, and are those vultures? Very, very nice. Rey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoKopeiki Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks, Rey. No idea what the birds are. They do look like vultures holding something in their beaks... Really like this piece - nice clean fields and an even dull tone all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RareSov Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 But my favourite recent acquisition is the 2007 Subscription coin, a recreation of the most valuable coin (4 pounds) in Australia's proclamation of 1800. The 1732 Gold Johanna, or 12800 Reis Don't anyone dare try to outbid me May24-28 2008 GOLDBERGS have a genuine one of these.. its even the right date :wishluck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarm Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Occasionally these half dollar size tokens from the 1790's can be found in mint red but I've become fond of the rose and blue irridescence some display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoKopeiki Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Nice token, Yarm. I agree that the toning is very appealing. Way to go! Here's my latest, which I am so excited about. S.M.

Yarm Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 There have been some cool coins posted here which were overstruck on other coins. Here's a Yorkshire halfpenny Conder token of 1792 overstruck on a Cheshire token of 1790. (The bottom images have been lightened and rotated to more clearly show the undertype.)

Yarm Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 With all the darkside auctions going on here and abroad, I'm sure there will be a lot of "wins" posted in the next week. Let me kick it off with a medal I was pleased to pick up in the Heritage token and medals sale. BHM 161 - copper medal of 1772 at 41mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farthing Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Very nice medal Yarm! Lovely color. Do you have one of the David Garrick tokens to go along with the medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarm Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I don't have one of the Conders with Garrick's image. Some of the BHM medals do a nicer job of depicting people and places and I think this is one example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satootoko Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Why do you guys call them darkside auctions ? Several years ago, over on the PC** boards, the term "darkside" for non-US coins was initiated - along with "liteside" for US and "greyside" for Canadian - and the usage has spread throughout the internet coin community.

RareSov Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 This is the 1868 Sovereign I posted images of.. seen here scanned in a flip. Has since been sent to NGC hoping for a 64 While I'm on waiting for it to be graded, any guesses at what NGC will give it are welcome! Contact marks are mainly the bunch on the reverse above the bow, otherwise only some very light ones ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown4 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Rare Sov, Nice looking Sovereign. Based on what I can view in the images I would say a MS 63. A very nice looking coin. Thanks for showing, Rey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
